Default Remote servo advice

I'm after some advice on running a remote servo setup with a tilton pedal box

Basically my servo and master cylinder on my mk2 base model fiesta are fouling my new gearbox setup I am wanting to run , and if I change to run an xr2 setup it fouls my jenvey inlet manifold so my only option is to run a pedal box setup from tilton , but after speaking to various people they say that the pedal you get from this is hard to use and that the brakes don't respond well, as my car is a road car with 425hp this isn't really and option!

So I've been looking into a remote serve setup and wondering can I just assist the front brakes and leave the rears straight from the pedal box? And also what type of sevro to go for?

Any help or thought welcome cheers Dean

can you not just shorten the brackets and shorten the rod on the servo?
that would be my port of call.
what box are you planning on running?
you could always move the servo up a touch, are you still on the base spec servo?
late spec brackets and a mondeo item may work better, i used them on my frs front brembo setup.

Mondeo servo it to big , xr2 servo hits my jenvey inlet base spec fouls the cable change on the gearbox Clarke had the same issue in his mk2 he ditched the servo and went for a pedal box option but said his brakes where rubbish
